We know that a Sleeping Car Attendant’s working hours on a long-distance train trip are long ones. Can anyone tell us what a SCA’s typical work schedule on the Southwest Chief would be? When does their workday actually start? (This would certainly be prior to the train arriving at the platform and taking on passengers.) Do the number of working hours differ slightly when heading west on #3 or east on #4? How many hours does a SWC SCA actually get to sleep during the trip?
Having a better understanding of a SCA’s work schedule will certainly give us an even greater appreciation of the SCAs we encounter on our future trips.
